Sanctuary in the Jungle

Sanctuary in the Jungle

Sanctuary in a Jungle a legal podcast discussing the vital role criminal defense attorneys play in the American legal system. Drawing on insights from renowned attorneys like Edward Bennett Williams and Michael Tigar, the podcast likens criminal courts to a "sanctuary" for rational decision making as opposed to the everyday "jungle-like" environment. Outside of the courts, decisions are often driven by emotion and intuition, which can lead to arbitrary and unjust outcomes. Criminal courts, in contrast, were designed to function as a carefully structured system where decisions are made based on evidence and legal standards.
